Abstract The goal of this paper is to recommend a good Private Network-to-Network Interface (PNNI) routing algorithm for private ATM networks. A good routing algorithm has to work well with multimedia traffic with several quality of service (QoS) requirements (such as cell loss ratio, cell delay and its variation etc.) in different networks under various traffic conditions. The multiplicity of QoS requirements makes the routing problem NP-complete, so our approach to the problem is based on large scale simulations involving several empirical algorithms (compliant with the PNNI routing specification) which have been tested for different network topologies and traffic scenarios. Based on analysis of tradeoffs involving performance metrics (such as blocking rate, complexity, load distribution) we recommend a consistently good routing algorithm for single domain ATM networks.
